The document discusses opportunities for investment in Bangladesh's textile industry. It notes that Bangladesh has experienced tremendous industrial growth and has the lowest cost manpower globally. The ready-made garments industry in particular has seen strong growth, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. Bangladesh is now one of the largest exporters of textiles and clothing, especially to markets like the US and EU where it has duty-free access. Key advantages for investment include competitive labor costs, duty exemptions in export processing zones, and access to raw materials and international markets. The government also offers investment protections and incentives to attract foreign direct investment into the growing industry.
